Flaxseed Cookies Low Carb
Ingredients:
– 1 cup ground flaxseed
– 1/2 cup almond flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
– 1/4 cup low-calorie sweetener of choice (such as erythritol or stevia)
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Optional: sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts for topping
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground flaxseed, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, sweetener, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, you can add a little more applesauce or a splash of almond milk to moisten it.
5. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 1 inch apart.
6. Flatten each cookie slightly with your palm and, if desired, press a few sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts on top of each cookie.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
